Juan Pablo Montoya screamed through the fields of central Ohio this past weekend in his special Hawk Performance livery provided by AERO™ Advanced Paint Technology. While the veteran racing driver only managed an 11th place finish, he was able to lead the pack in the Honda Indy 200 at Mid-Ohio for 9 laps in his sleek Retinal Burn Red livery.

Team PENSKE teammate Simon Pagenaud went on to win the race marking his fourth win of the season.

Montoya, currently sitting in 12th place in the season standings, holds one win for the season going into the race at Mid-Ohio. In order to dress for the race, Montoya had his special Hawk Performance liveried Chevrolet IndyCar painted with the world's only ultra-durable, environmentally sustainable film-based paint system. To enhance the branding, Team PENSKE opted for a color in the AERO Liquid Metal™ series: Retinal Burn Red.
